A Song For Liverpool

P Maguire

Sunday, May 8th, 2005

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 By the banks of the Mersey
We sing the old songs
A prayer and a wish and hymn
Wrapped up in the red
With nought but a dream
To warm our poor hearts from the wind

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Brave men of our blood
Who would take to the field
And played with a passion all feared
Blood sweat and tears
Then the sound of our cheers
Would follow them all off the field

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 There was Shankly and Paisley
And a smile from our Joe
His warm heart ne’er harboured a doubt
The bold boys of ours
Shone as bright as the stars
Not one of our lads walked alone

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 There we’d be in the Kop
Down the Walton Breck Road
As the cry for the Redmen went up
And for this we gave thanks
And none broke the ranks
As our Reds brought us home every cup

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 The Mancs they were cryin’
The Blues wailed for mammy
The Arse felt the pain of our goals
On our boots they were slain
When to Anfield they came
Bloodied and wearied they went home

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Now our times may be spent
And the glory grown quiet
And the tears up in heaven their shed
But the Good Lord keeps the faith
He’s a Redman alright
And He’ll steer a true course through the waves

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 With the faith of our fathers
We march on as one
Let the devil come by for a chance
For we’ll spit in his eye
And we’ll bid him goodbye
As he slinks away down the East Lancs

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 Oh the times they were good
When we danced in the sun
And we partied from Wembley to Rome
We were lost in a dream
But the best still to be
Then we’ll rest in our dear Anfield home

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 Oh the times will be good
When we reach Istanbul
And we’ll party like Dortmund and Rome
We’ll be livin’ the dream
With the best yet to be
Comin’ back to our dear Anfield home.

Notes

“Oh the times will be good
When we reach Istanbul
And we party like Wembley and Rome
We’ll be livin’ the dream
With the best yet to be
Comin’ back to our dear Anfield home.”

“RAFA
IS
BOSPHORUS!”
